(see i’ve left out the hope bit – yup, others can do you over on that one)

don’t know all the specifics (best not prolly) but suspect the down is also tied in with other endings going on & uncertainty about the future – for ages you’ve been focused on travel then the walk & now that stage is nearly complete it’s bound to be unsettling

just keep working through it – you’ll get there, promise…

ps. let us know when you’re next down south & i shall ply you with alcohol and cheap & shaky psychobabble – woot!
